Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3

/ / Comics

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 offers the first face-off between Hellboy and the restricted Frost King Thrym which results in a draw when the Frost Giant retreated to build up his strength setting up a final confrontation in next issues’ series conclusion.

Aside from the giant, Hellboy: The Bones of Giants #3 also gives us the giant wolf Garm who our heroes come across feasting on the remains of a village as they continue their way north in search of Thrym.

Overall, it’s a solid middle issue to the arc with a couple of fun sequences but leaves the big action to play out in the four-issue mini-series’ conclusion.

/ / Comics

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants continues as Hellboy is visited by Svartalves in the night helping  Professor Edmond Aickman escape. He also brings home a pair of Nidavellim, talks to a chipmunk, and has a conversation with a Valkyrie ghost. Oh, and he’s still kinda possessed by the Norse god Thor. Let’s just say it’s been a weird couple of days for our hero.

What Hellboy knows, thanks to a pair of Nidavellim, is that the professor is responsible for opening a crypt of the Frost Giant Thrym who a new cult hopes to see resurrected. After the stressful night, our intrepid heroes go in search of the missing professor only to discover they may have been to late as the madman may have succeeded in raising a giant from his grave. I don’t think things are going to get any less weird any time soon.
